If Merck goes down in flames, then you can say goodbye to all pharmas. I just do not see that happening. At worst, they will turn this regular practice by the pharmas into a Merck only issue and sell themselves to someone else. Change the name, not the product. Take a look at simple...

You're a winner? Yeah in your head, maybe. Im not the one getting angry and posting insults. Get out of the fairy tale world and you might see the real facts. I knew about Lipitor & Vioxx's problems before you even knew that these drugs were about to be released. Same shit, different year...

Dude get your facts straight. At least find comparable drug companies that have been bashed down by lawsuits instead of finding irrelevant cases. Airlines have barely ever been profitable while pharmas have made a killing from the get go. Enron is a completely different case of corruption...

5 billion is not "any money". You must be making a trillion a year to say stupid sh*t like that. Hear hear, we have a true super trader here on ET.

Your logic is twisted. You cannot compare Enron and DAL to Merck. Merck does not cook their numbers (they dont need to) and is extremely profitable even after Vioxx being pulled. Merck's escapades are very similiar to Altria's, remember all the panic selling due to the public news and what...

vhehn is a bit confused. Proper use of drugs and vaccines is one where they are used in extreme conditions only. Vaccines were originally designed to help those with weakened immune systems due to malnutrition & bad health, other sickness, bad genetics, old & very young age, etc...

I dunno who here watches "The Wire" but this one quote by Sobatka in the 24th episode of the second season really stuck in my mind. Not too exact but it goes "This country used to be about making sh*t & bulding sh*t. Now it's just about reaching into the next guy's pocket". I think that hits...

Sign me up. I want to do a cannonball jump.

Logical is being cautious & skeptical in the trading industry, I figure after 8 years you would figure that out. Or do you go long with all your capital when some analyst on CNBC says that it's a great time to buy. Anyway, like I said, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and would love to...

At the same time, you will never see the momentum of naz on NYSE thanks to the maggot specialists. TGT and HPQ and pretty thick, high involvement by the auto progs which keep it in line. I've been trading some Naz, it ain't easy at all but I prefer the problems of Naz vs the factor of being...

I think it's 60/40 if not 50/50. Naz traders flocked to NYSE when bullets became big and NYOB became open to the public. Also a lot of new guys started out with NYSE then and lasted a few years since it was so easy. There was no such trick on Nasdaq. Any moron could hit down market...

Is that because I questioned your out of this world results? You barely trade and make an insane amount of money. There are scalpers struggling to make a few hundred dollars a day while trading nonstop from 9:30-4:00 and you come in post results of easy $1000-2000 in a few minutes. Pardon me...

LOL you know what I mean. Or maybe you don't. Depends on whether you believe the government inflation statistics instead of just paying attention to the prices of goods around you.

LOL Chop shop.

Yes I know that screen captures can be doctored, I'm very good at desktop publishing and even though I rarely use Photoshop, I can do it relatively quickly. Still, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to screen captures if they are posted on a regular basis. Notice, we have yet to see one from...

Excuse but how in the world do you start scalping with 1000-5000 share lots after slow losses in swing trading. You must be some kind of trading super-genius cause almost every scalper starts out with 100 share lots till he gets consistency and then sizes up slowly with slower moving safer...

Excellent news. Think of the opportunities

It means don't bet the house on it. I'm sure Mr. Cook is an awesome trader but letting others know (besides close colleagues) that the market is "overbought" is not smth a true professional trader does. So I doubt he is betting heavily on it. Being that the overall tendency of this lame...

He has been in several already, old news.

I'm sure the government economists will be able to massage the #s to show that everything is great even though the country is falling apart.
